http://tacticalgear.com/tg-outrider-sage  those are 80 bucks. I will find some more though.

That all depends on what you mean by "junk".

If I got to get my 12 year old into boots that he/she is gonna out grow in a year.....I'll take the $50 junkers please.
If you are talking about me......I will spend the $150 to get a "good" pair that will last me for 10 years.

So there you go.

Also....do you got a link to those cheap sage green boots?

I wondered how long it was going to be

[Al Sayre]

FWIW, Bargain Outfitters is going out of business in about a month (April 5th), and they have boatloads of combat & tactical boots so you may be able to get a deal:
Mens: http://www.bargainoutfitters.com/net/browse/mens-boots-shoes-combat-tactical-boots.aspx?c=11&s=370
Womens: http://www.bargainoutfitters.com/net/browse/womens-boots-shoes-combat-tactical-boots.aspx?c=43&s=370

What will members do when they rush to get these specials  and SAF says "No?"

[lordmonar]

Well.....then shame on them.   

They have been told to wait.

[Garibaldi]

They're out $______ and lesson learned.

I foresee numerous listings in marketplace: "For sale-sage green boots. Good price. Never used."

Unless you wait too long and miss a opportunity.

The secret is knowing when it's a real opportunity and when it's just an opportunity to waste money. I suppose that threshold will be different for all. In the meantime, black boots it is.

[USACAP]

5.11 boots are worth all of $56.
Made in China...
And zippers? Really?

[SAREXinNY]

Is there even talk about authorizing the sage boots? (I'm seriously asking, not being sarcastic)

Last I knew that wasn't even on the table.

(edited for grammar, because I can't type)

[RogueLeader]

Not that I've ever heard. I heard that they were specifically excluded from the proposal.
